Raw Meat Diet for Dogs
November 26th, 2009
My dog Zodiac on a raw food diet. He is eating some of his raw turkey. I do not usually feed so much meat, but its Thanksgiving, and so he was happy ![]()
For anyone interested in this diet: This is the best your dog can get, natural, healthy, flavorful and very good for dogs with dental problems. Ever since Zodi was started on the diet, he has been free of any health problems (fleas, hotspots, worms, infections ect). If you worry about parasites/bacteria, dogs can handle these, they have been fine for thousands of years on this diet. Commercial (canned/dry kibbles) pet food has only been around for 60 years, and how did the dogs survive before these? Raw meat and scraps. So if they were fine then, they will be fine now. Commercial pet food causes VERY bad reactions in dogs because most of them have preservatives that have been banned in people food because they caused tumors, birth defects, allergies, liver/heart failures and other bad things.. Some of them even have euthanized animals (even pets!) in them (“meat by-products”, “meat and bone meal”, “meat meal”). Corn, which is a main ingredient in most pet foods, is an allergy trigger in many cats and dogs and is not needed. It is used as a cheap filler.
Many vets are inexperienced with animal nutrition, and will recommend the wrong food. Sometimes they are ever bribed to recommend pet foods. But on with feeding raw.
This diet is about 70% meat and bones and the rest is organs, vegetables, fruits, oils and vitamins. Do not bother adding grain or dairy, for dogs do not need these and cannot use them. For energy dogs use fats from animals. If you worry about exact nutrition, please don’t, when you make dinner for you or your family you don’t say “I need Xcups salad, Xcups beef, Xcups beans and three multi-vitamin supplements.” so why stress about your dog? As said earlier, before commercial pet food, no one fed a strict diet, and ther dogs were fine. So dont worry. I listed some recipes below.
Chicken Dinner (for a 30-40 lb dog)
1 pound chicken (with bone)
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetables
vitamin supplement
Beef and Sardine
1/2 pound beef (with bone)
2 fresh wild sardines
1 carrot
1 banana or apple
Lamb Breakfast
Lamb necks
1 tomato
1 egg
Here is also a list of bad pet food brands:
Purina, Iams, Eukanuba, Nutro max, Goodlife recipe, Science Diet, Prescription Diet, Gravy train, alpo, amore, Pedigree, Natures Recipe, Bil jac, royal canin, ect
Hope Every one has a happy Thanksgiving!
